#Tech post! #Today I finally found time to remove #Fedora from my #Linux laptop. I had intended to replace it with #MXLinux - in fact for a couple of hours I did - but in the end I had so many problems customising #KDE #Plasma that I actually stopped and had a rethink.
I had always liked Plasma for its customisability, but wrestling with panel configuration seems to be getting harder - or I'm getting older - and I just couldn't get the desktop how I wanted it. After 2 hours I realised life was too short for such nonsense.
I needed a polished distro with fractional scaling on #HiDPI displays, and after some research to get me up to date, I plumped for #Pop_OS with its #COSMIC desktop.
Pop_OS is great - it has a solid #Ubuntu base and the UI feels far more consistent and robust than either KDE or #Gnome - but my essential #Java app, the #JMRI #ModelRailway control software, looked awful at any scale. Jagged fonts, boxes overflowing, etc.
After a lot of searching I found a shell command to force font anti-aliasing for old Java apps (comment if you need a link to the Gist), and with a few more tweaks finally all was well.
Pop_OS, like MX Linux, seems to be AI-neutral rather than overtly AI-positive like Fedora, so I've achieved my original goal, even if it took me in an unexpected direction.

CW: Adventures in Linux
Next step in my #linux journey - taking a dsktop battlestation with power and juice and putting linux on there and seeing if I can make it my primary compute system. I want to try somethign other than #cachyOS (which I enjoy). #Bazzite has not worked for me at all on many attempts. #pop_os kept having the loss of network need to reboot issues. #nobara has been problematic getting stuck in a loop from the latest updater (major version 43) trying to update to 44 and not getting there.
I could go #linuxmint or #ubuntu, but I like the arch underneath Cachy, and i need to look at other good #archlinux versions for running games - via #steam #heroicgameslauncher and #minigalaxy for #gog .
And I need to get the blog up to write about my experiences in proper longform.
Meme for reading.

#FrostedGlass is a very eye-catching effect.

✨ El cristal esmerilado de COSMIC está cada vez más cerca ✨
El CEO de System76, Carl Richell, compartió ayer en X que COSMIC Frosted Glass está muy cerca de convertirse en realidad.
La idea es que el efecto sea sutil por defecto, pero que el usuario pueda hacerlo más brillante y llamativo según sus preferencias.https://www.phoronix.com/news/COSMIC-Frosted-Glass

#linux #linuxgaming project update
My mother is beginning testing a #linuxmint laptop as her daily driver while taking notes about issues. It's been 4 days and I haven't received a call about any issues.I finally killed the dragon and got windows off the new gaming lappy and got #pop_os installed successfully and relatively smoothly. HAving to access the bios form within Windows via recovery because the BIOS was locked out from boot (F12 failed to work) to turn off Secure UEFI was the biggest fight.
Getting the apps set up so far has been smooth. I need to do a little more with some technical side apps for video capture and editing on there.
I need to check in with my buddy rocking the #cachyOS box used for lighter gaming (stock business desktop graphics from 3 years ago) and internet browsing and see how that's going.
There is good forward progress.

Forget #bazzite
I can load up any other gaming Linux. This won’t run. I picked the appropriate hardware config. And it won’t run. Two different usb sticks, it won’t even be read. #ubuntu #linuxmint #pop_os #NobaraLinux just work. But not Bazzite. Not on a recycled computer. Not on a brand new gaming laptop.Lesson learned. Which gaming Linux distro should I put on a warp drive gaming lappy?

I've hit a nasty little problem when updating PoP! _OS. The 6.17.9 kernel is having problems on two of my laptops. I lose access to the EFI partition. I working on the previous kernel for a while.

Ich bin an Linux Mint & Fedora gewöhnt. Beides OS, die unauffällig im Hintergrund laufen. Ab & an probiere ich neue Linux-OS auf meinem alten Laptop aus. Heute war es PopOS, weil ich den Cosmic-Desktop hübsch finde. Hübsch ist er, doch obwohl PopOS auf Ubuntu aufbaut, war es ein sehr instabiles Erlebnis mit vielen eingefrorenen Bildschirmen, inkonsistenten Icons & nicht mehr zurück finden zu den ursprünglichen Konfigurationen.

Nun auch schriftlich und mit weiteren Eindruecken.
Zum 5. #diday habe ich meine liebsten 3 #Linux Distributionen abgefruehstueck und via @info hier 👉 https://www.metacheles.de/drei-linux-distributionen-die-euch-den-umstieg-leicht-machen-digital-independence-day-5/ zusammengefasst.
Von #Mint ueber #pop_os zu #cachyos
Und als Bonus gibt es noch den Grund, warum ich ueberhaupt nach #Taiwan gekommen bin & sich mein Leben so gewandelt hat.. es lag tatsaechlich an meinem eigenen Linux-Derivat, welches wir vor ueber 20 Jahren veroeffentlicht hatten.
Gerne boosten.
Danke #Fediverse 🙏

Both @tuxedocomputers and @slimbook are on Fediverse.
They ship worldwide and usually deliver custom builds within 1-2 weeks. You can even select the preinstalled Linux distribution, including Omarchy and Pop! OS #linux #laptop #omarchy #pop_os #tuxedocomputer #slimbook

Good *gracious*, the Cosmic desktop env they forced into #pop_os is steaming hot garbage. So many unnecessary changes, things broken, and previously-useful options just removed for no reason -- Like, you can't have a keyboard shortcut to show the desktop anymore? What the heck??
Looks like reverting to gnome requires going back a full version, so I'm out until they fix this mess.
New distro time!

@Prometheus @itsfoss In a manner of thinking, #Pop_OS and #TuxedoOS are the the ideal distros to use as the companies that make them are the most heavily invested in #desktopLinux and it being core to their business.

Did you know that #systemd already has `emailAddress`, `realName`, and `location` fields? but they where never meant for home users, only enterprise workflows, so adding `birthDate field` isn't really much work, and you could see why systemd doesn't consider that bloat
And this is exactly why systemd is bloated because it doesn't consider lots of things to be bloat in the first place
It's never a good idea to rely on software that serves corporations best interests, because corporations care about profit not principles, #FOSS principles.

Really happy with #Pop_os as my daily driver. I even can play games (although with tinkering and help from the community). It feels good to use a tracking- and nagging-free OS :)
Only thing that's bugging (pun intended) me atm is the mouse stuttering reported in this issue https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/2488
It helps to kill cosmic-comp now and then but yeah... Anyways. No reason to go back to M$ even with 100 more bugs. -
#MafiaII (Classic) ist seit gestern Abend ein zweites Mal von mir durchgespielt.
Da es unter #Windows11 immer zu Abstürzen im Spiel kam, bin ich erst auf #pop_os und schließlich auf #CachyOS ausgewichen (https://mstdn.io/@moortaube/115748745288202126).
Als nächstes folgt #MafiaIII: Definitiv Edition. Das spiele ich dann von Anfang an auf CachyOS.
